One direction follows by restriction. Conversely, suppose is a Non-Archimedean absolute value. Then for every integer . For , the binomial theorem and the ordinary triangle inequality give
Taking th roots and letting yields the ultrametric inequality for . Thus an extension of an absolute value is non-Archimedean exactly when its restriction is.

An absolute value on a field is a map satisfying , , and . It is non-Archimedean when the stronger inequality holds.
If , then
The ordinary triangle inequality gives
Letting proves the strong triangle inequality.
